What do you like best about CacheFly?

CacheFly's staff is universally the most friendly and helpful group of folks I've ever worked with. They are also some of the most intelligent people I've found in the network / CDN industry. They have worked with me to build solutions that helped solve a number of scenarios. Most notably is their Image Optimization service that runs along side our image origin to allow for on the fly image changes like size and quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CacheFly?

I wish I had something to share here. Fortunately for CacheFly, I don't. They are all around awesome! Their uptime is stellar, their support team is very responsive, they are very dynamic in adapting to be able to service unique needs, their pricing rates are stellar. I mean I seriously have no problems with them at all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CacheFly:

If you're working with someone like Cloudflare, Fastly or Akamai (the others I personally have experience with), definitely give CacheFly a call. They offer a far superior product at a competitive price. You won't regret it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CacheFly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're utilizing CacheFly primarily for static content delivery and image optimization. This has helped speed up the performance of our services globally and allowed for reduced bandwidth consumption in between CacheFly and the end user. Benefits all around! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CacheFly?

The main CacheFly portal could use and update. It would also be great to be able to set reverse proxy origin via the API, instead of having to log into the portal. Configuration of Geo Block rules would be nice to do via the Portal instead of having to submit a ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Killion of CacheFly

We're so glad you feel supported as a CacheFly customer. I'm sorry to hear you find the support package expensive. Unfortunately, with free CDN accounts, we do need to charge for support so we can give all our customers a high level of customer service. We are always happy to work with you to find something that is affordable for you! Please reach out to your account manager should you need help sizing up alternative packages!

Prior communication to users before depreciating legacy services would be off great help and a much better documentation of the release notes are needed. Although there was nothing to complain about the tool or their services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
